ENDLESS ANXIETY, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The hoar-frost crumbles in the sun
Last Line: She has no rest.
Alternate Author Name(s): Lawrence, D. H.


THE hoar-frost crumbles in the sun,
The crisping steam of a train
Melts in the air, while two black birds
Sweep past the window again.

Along the vacant road, a red
Bicycle approaches; I wait
In a thaw of anxiety, for the boy
To leap down at our gate.

He has passed us by; but is it
Relief that starts in my breast?
Or a deeper bruise of knowing that still
She has no rest.
